IAMU-PAES-P PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION BENEFITS: THE MAAP EXPERIENCE

This paper presents a study on the benefits of the Peer Assisted Self-Evaluation Scheme (PAES)-P (Philippines) conducted on October 25-26, 2017 in MAAP Philippines, by a group of international experts from IAMU. Further, this paper presents background and rationale on the participation of MAAP, the purpose, and tools used in the PAES-P self-evaluation; the principles, methods, process, phases, and tools used in the PAES-P peer evaluation; the PAES evaluation form and its coverage. Further, the benefits from the PAES-P project as perceived by the MAAP community composed of the MAAP officers, faculty and staff and by the randomly selected students who were interviewed in the process were analyzed. The 30 comments or qualitative data generated were reduced to 20 and further quantified using the Likert 5-rating scale to determine the extent of satisfaction on the identified benefits of the said project. Likewise, the 20 comments were categorized or summarized into eight significant benefits, and the MAAP community ranked the same. The eight implementation benefits were abbreviated as IAMU-PAES with identified P or perceived Problems or challenges in the implementation of the IAMU-PAES-P project. The paper ends with concluding remarks and recommendations.
